MOTHERLY TALKS 

 WITH YOUNG HOUSEKEEPERS. 



By MRS. H. W. BEECHER. 



WITH CARBON-PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT OF THE AUTHOR. 

 I vol. I2mO. $2. 



Mrs. Beecher's notion of woman's sphere is, that, whatever ex- 

 ceptional women may be able to accomplish by reason of peculiar 

 circumstances and talents, the place of labor and achievement for 

 most women, and for all married women and mothers, is Home. 



This book, composed of brief and pithy articles on almost every 

 conceivable point of duty, is an admirable monitor for young wives, 

 and a mine of good sense and information for growing maidens. 



11 An admirable corrective to ignorance 

 in the household."—^. Y. Tribune. 



" A useful and entertaining work, 

 crammed with friendly and admirable 

 monitions and instruction for young 

 housekeepers." — Philadelphia Even- 

 ing Herald* 



This book is exactly what its title 

 sets forth— a kind and motherly way of 

 helping the young and inexperienced 



make agreeable, well-regulated, and 

 happy homes." — Boston Globe. 



" What she has to say she says so 

 well, with such good sense, ripe judg- 

 ment, and such a mother-warmth of 

 heart, that she cannot fail to help the 

 class for whom she writes, and guide 

 them into good and useful paths."— 

 Presbyterian.
